Description
The Germans and Hitler are under the water I thought the war against Japan was over.' Snatches of news of great distant events frequently appear in African folk songs where they are interwoven with news of more local significance. Ndwala bells are forged out of iron and curved over into the shape of a pod with one side open. Small iron balls are inserted inside. The bells are strung onto strips of raw hide and tied around the shins and ankles.
